^^what he said... Just to be on the safe side, flush out all of the old brake fluid and clean the lines. Ya never know if someone may have mixed DOT 3 with DOT 5 fluid...

Could be a lifter if the oil is low..

Cool idea, but lotsa work and a lot of extra weight added to the front springs. Lol, I added an old school Warn 8274 to my 86 M1008 and I could feel the weight difference in the front.

Top priority.... the balancer may look okay, but that rubber is dried and hardened thus vastly reducing it's ability to function properly. Old balancers will destroy these engines. Just plan on replacing anything that's rubber...

Always a good time to see the looks on coworker's faces when I drive the 💩box M1008 for work lol

That is rare lol

Yes, a damaged shock can effect the ride height...

The intake is loud, but not a whistling noise..

Welcome aboard! Your M1028 more than likely came with an NP208..... An NP205 is markedly stronger than a NP208, but the ole 208 holds up just fine. It has a 2:62-1 low range which I prefer over the 1:96-1 low in the 205.

Buddy of mine bought my 74 K10 that had the oddball SM465/NP203 combo. Well the frame had a kink in it where it meets the firewall on the passenger side. It bent the bellhousing. He hasn't been able to find one...

You can buy a new aftermarket bellhousing from Novak... they're not cheap, but at least you will get a brand new unit without the risks of bends or cracks from an OEM unit that has seen better days.

Accurate.. lol

I'll take the red clay mud instead of sand lol Now south Ga does have sand, but I'm in the NW part of the state where it's all red clay dirt and rocks. We get the slightest bit of rain and it gets slicker than owl 💩 lol

Thx.. I don't foresee doing any rock crawling with a stock suspension M1008 lol. Down here in Ga we rarely ever get snow, so not much of a concern. If it ices up, I'm staying at the house... I do go over rocks, but nothing too big. Down here in Ga there's no shortage of inclines with rocks, red...

Might wanna have that 700R rebuilt to handle the power from that 6.5 Optimizer. That trans is nowhere near as bullet proof as a 480LE or Turbo 400...

I have not touched the injection pump on my 85 m1008. No idea if the guy I bought it from turned it up either..... the ole 6.2 definitely rattles though lol If I hit the bottom of a grade at 55-57mph, it'll usually start to lose speed depending on how steep and how long the grade is. I also...

3301.... and I'll never buy another one lol. Their "compact" wheelbase design does not lend itself to stability.

I tow my tractor n trailer with my M1008 a few times a month. The m1008 handles the load(7500lbs) just fine. Just not going to win a speed contest doing it.....

A worn out shock will effect ride height... had it happen on my m1008
